So they've found a planet hotter than most starts. They're calling it
KELT-9. It's losing 10 million kilograms of its mass every second.
If you have a relatively decent grasp of arithmetic then that number should
blow your mind.
Except:
Mass = 10^27kg
Weight loss = 10^7kg per second = 10^7kg * 31540000 = 31540000000000kg per
year
Which means at that rate it's only losing 0.0000000000003154 percent of its
mass per year.
That's roughly how much bitcoin i'm mining every month on my
state-of-the-art hardware.
